The notes are written in little squares: [**white] denoting a long note; [**black] a short note; [**white][**white] a note of two long syllables; [**black][**black] a note of two short syllables; [**black][**white][**white] a note of one short and two long syllables; and [**black][**white][**white][**black][**black] a note of one short, two long, and two short syllables. Of these six notes combinations were made for all the signals to be blown. ILLOEQUES, "here in this place," from the L. _illo loco_. Sometimes it is spelt _illecques_, _iluec_, _illosques_, &c. It is constantly met with in Anglo-Norman, and the Provence dialects (Botman, pp. 90, 242; T. M., pp. 31, 93, 142; Roy Modus, lxix.; and in the will of the Duke of York, Nichols). It has been suggested that it is the origin of the familiar _yoicks_. In the "Boke of St. Albans" in the verses on hare-hunting it also occurs. [Illustration: FROM HARDOUIN DE FONTAINES GUERIN'S WORK, WRITTEN IN 1394] JOPEYE, synonymous with _jupper_, which, according to Cotgrave, is an old word signifying "to whoot, showt, crie out alowd." The French word _juper_, _jupper_, also spelt _joppeir_, had the same meaning, and we find it employed in the "Chace dou cerf" for a halloa in hunting in a similar way to _jopeye_ in our text: "_Et puis juppe ou corne i. lonc mot Chaucuns en a joie qui l'ot._" In the sense it is used in our "Master of Game" (p. 185) it means to halloa to the hounds, to encourage them with the voice. KENETTES, small hounds. Kenet is a diminutive form of the Norman-French _kenet_, and the O. F. _chen_, _cienetes_, _chenet_, a dog: _i veneour a ii cienetes, Ne mie grans mais petitetes, Et plus blans que n'est flors d'espine_ (Percival, 22,895). Derived from the Latin _canis_ (_see_ Appendix: Harriers). LIGGING, a bed, a resting-place, a lair. From O. Eng. _licgan_, _licgean_, Goth. _ligan_, lie, lie down. The ligging of the hart was what we now call his lair, spelt also layer. In our MS. it is used for the dwelling of a wild cat (p. 71). This old expression is not entirely obsolete, but can be heard still among the country people of the northern counties of England. LIMER, lymer; the name given to a scenting-hound which was held in a liam or leash whilst tracking the game. Limers never were any distinct breed of hounds, but, of course, some breeds produced better limers than others (De Noirmont, vol. ii. p. 350).
